Kyle Craft
Another track landed on the upcoming debut record from newly signed Sub Popper, Kyle Craft. “Eye of the Hurricane,” starts us off with a piano riff that hearkens us back to a ragtime era. It’s a tongue in cheek story about infatuation in a toxic relationship sprawled across a
John Congleton
At the song open, I feel like I’m stuck inside of a horror movie, screeching and horrifying noises almost sirens, which suits well a record titled, Until The Horror Goes. As the sirens relent, and the beat takes over, the song becomes infectious, and the hook comes out to
Kyle Craft
I’m really into the music I’ve heard so far from Kyle Craft, you might remember him as the frontman of Gashcat. Most of the songs find influence from a past that haunts him from his formative life in Shreveport, LA. Songs of messed up relationships, jealousy, ghosts and
Big Thief
Something pretty awesome is going on around this debut record from Big Thief. “Real Love,” starts as this quiet, pensive folk-tinged rock song that blows up into full blow rock arrangements that you’ll instantly fall in love with. Put perfectly by Billy Mitchel, “Pop meets hardcore, with an angel
Alyeska
I’ve been really into this new track from LA outfit, Alyeska. “Everglow, an alt tinged and guitar powered track thats an moody, dark, sonically emotional track with a definite tie to alt-rock era. Produced by John Agnello, (Kurt Vile, Dinosaur Jr., Phosphorescent) the single comes ahead of their debut
eskimeaux
With Valentine’s day right around the corner, what’s better than a song that pecks at the frailty power we yield to those that we love. Isn’t that a romantic notion? Eskimeaux’s “Power” explores the subject, wrapped in a sleepy bedroom pop song, that’s nice on
Islands
Islands will return this spring with new music, with not one but two new albums (remember when Guns N’ Roses did this with the Use Your Illusion Series?), all dropping on the same day. The two forthcoming albums, Taste and Should I remain Here At Sea? will be available May
Rayland Baxter
Here’s a new cut of Rayland Baxter’s single “Mr. Rodriguez” which will appear on a brand new EP, SOHO EP. It’s a sparse cut, of just Baxter some quiet solo guitar, and his words drenched in reverb. The EP was recorded at Dean St Studios in London
Operators
On a tip from a trusted friend, this new track from Operators fell into my lap. Operators is the new project from Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner, and is the single from their upcoming debut record, Blue Wave. “Cold Light,” is a melodic, synth driven pop number, that’s anthemic
Harriet
Los Angeles’ Harriet have given us another taste off of their upcoming record, American Appetite, which hits your ears January 29th on Harvest Records. Their newest cut, “Bent,” is much more intimate, confessional sounding track that feels more like you are inside the head of the songwriter. The song cuts
The Donkeys
This song is exactly what you need when you are deep in the throws of a gray November day in Boston. The head-bobbing nature of “Down the Line,” intermixed with the near sun soaked (to an almost silly level) visuals on the video scream California, I mean there is no
!!!
New video from !!! (Chk Chk Chk) for their track “Ooo” which is a super fun look into the world of relationships, and how those common woes are universal, even in outer space. The video was done by Casper Kelly, who directed the viral “Too Many Cooks” video. It’s a
